UCL Museums February newsletter




Hurrah! January is over for another year - and whilst it might feel like we're still in the depths of winter, we are definitely on our way to Spring.

In the meantime, we have a host of events to tempt you through our doors, from our familiy afternoon 'Explore Zoology' this Saturday at the Grant Museum, to the upcoming 'Animal Instincts'  delivered by our student events team. 

Also check out the LGBT History Month events at the Petrie Museum including a play reading of Mike Walker's play 'The Glass Ball Game' and screening of 'The Hunger' as part of their 'Desire and Deceit' season.

Hope to see you at UCL Museums soon.

For a full list of our upcoming events, please see our What's On pages.
Join UCL Art Museum and Dr Lucy Lyons to explore the Hunterian Museum and develop your drawing practice.

The class is suitable for adults of all levels, from beginners to more confident artists. All materials are provided.
